Couplings, automatic; buffers ; drawgear. - in a double link - and - hook coupling for railway, tramway, and other trains, the coupling-books have forked shanks pivoted to blocks mounted upon screw - threaded portions of the draw - bars and within frames which have rollers bearing upon the upper sides of the bifurcations, the arrangement being such that, by rotating the draw-bars from the side of the vehicle, the blocks may be moved longitudinally so as to tighten the coupling, to allow the hooks to pivot for coupling purposes, or to lock the hooks either in the coupled or uncoupled position. Further, the draw-bars and buffer plungers are connected behind the headstock by cross-pieces so as to reduce the risk of derailment upon curves by counteracting the centrifugal action of the inner buffers. Coupling links g are supported by brackets i secured to buffer casings band are adapted to engage with hooks f having forked shanks j, the rear ends of which are inclined upwards as shown at k, Fig. 1. The shanks j engage under rollers k<1> mounted upon frames n, and are pivoted at l to blocks m adapted to slide in the frames n, such sliding motion being obtained by rotating draw-bars r which are screwed into the blocks m. The draw-bars are rotated from the side of the vehicle by bevel - gearing w, v mounted upon cross-shafts x and connected to toothed wheels u, s, the latter of which are mounted upon squared parts of the draw - bars r. The frames n have sliding contact also with brackets p fixed to the buffer casings. For automatic coupling, the blocks m are moved until the rollers k' come to the bottom of the inclines k so that the hooks f are raised into the position shown in dotted lines in which they can turn about their pivots l ; and in order to lock the parts in the coupled position and to tighten the coupling, the blocks m are drawn back to the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1. For uncoupling, the books are raised by moving the blocks m until the inclines k come under the rollers k<1>. The draw-bars or shanks of the link and hook of each vehicle are connected by cross-pieces e, e<1> to the plungers c of the corresponding buffers. The draw - bars r, instead of being rigid, may be provided with joints allowing lateral oscillation.
